‘Doom’ Meets ‘Zombies Ate My Neighbors’ in This New Total Conversion
Some of you might be disappointed with the recent re-release of LucasArts’ classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors to consoles and PC. The offerings lean towards the, well, lean side of re-releases.
If you’re in that camp, you can always lean (why I’m using this word again, I don’t know) on Doom to provide your fix. Specifically, Dude27th’s Total Conversion of Zombies Ate My Neighbors for Doom II. The TC is still very much in progress, but as you’ll see from the various videos on the modder’s YouTube page, there’s plenty of excitement.
It’s not just a straight-up reskinning, either. Dude27th is working to recreate the weapons (namely, things that aren’t in Doom II like the soda cans and crucifixes), items, enemies, and of course, co-op! At the moment, the TC is up to level 7, but there’s still plenty to enjoy.
To get this puppy going, all you’ll need is a copy of Doom II and GZDoom.
Thanks to PCGamer for the heads up.
Bloober Team appears to have something in the works related to Cronos: The New Dawn. At least, that would appear to be the case, thanks to an accidental reveal ahead of this weekend’s IGN Live event as part of Summer Game Fest.
In the list of title reveals during the event, something referred to as “Cronos: Lazarus” appeared in the list, but was quickly scrubbed. However, not before the internet picked up on it. Adding more fuel to the reveal were two screenshots posted to X by insider Intercelluar, which appear to show the official art. It’s not clear yet, but this is more than likely a new DLC for Cronos: The New Dawn, given that Bloober Team is already busy with multiple other titles, including the Silent Hill remake, and the recently-announced Layers of Fear 3.
If you haven’t checked out Cronos: The New Dawn (and you never read Aaron’s review of the game), the game is set in the haunting ruins of New Dawn, a world inspired by Nowa Huta, a real historical district in Kraków, Poland. Cronos: The New Dawn unfolds across two timelines: a post-apocalyptic future decaying in despair, and the gritty, industrial 1980s reality. This powerful duality blends retro realism, dystopian sci-fi, and a retro-futuristic atmosphere to create a deeply immersive world filled with tension, mystery, and terror.
Players step into the hunting suit of The Traveler — an enigmatic agent of the Collective, sent into zones scarred by the Change, a cataclysmic event that shattered time, memory, and flesh. What remains is a world suspended between past and future — haunted, hostile, and unravelling. Survival is anything but certain.
